I will then have my legal team stand behind my stance that I was left with no choice but to defend myself with equal force that was presented. If you engage in a "fair" fight where you are not in fear of serious injury or assault, you are assaulting someone not defending yourself, and setting yourself up for jailtime or a lwasuit. Same with carrying a weapon, you dont shoot someone in the leg. You either shoot to end the threat as a last alternative, or dont shoot at all. Sorry to go off topic but I hear this all the time, and it drives me nuts.
